राजधानीको पानी-संघर्ष

24 May 2014 | १० जेष्ठ, २०७१/स्वरूप आचार्य

काठमाडौं– बाफलकी सावित्री श्रेष्ठलाई घरायसी व्यवस्थापनमा सबभन्दा पिरलो खानेपानी जोहोकै हुन्छ। पछिल्लो नियमअनुसार उनको टोलका सरकारी धारामा साताको दुईचोटि पानी आउनुपर्ने हो। आउँछ एकचोटि मात्र, डेढ–दुई घन्टा। त्यो पनि रातको एक–दुई बजे। पानी आउने दिन उनी निन्द्रै माया मारेर प्रतीक्षामा रहन्छिन्। कहिलेकाहीँ पानी थाप्ने प्रहर निन्द्राले झपक्कै छोप्छ, अनि सातै दिन ठन्डाराम!

Govt bid to keep rivers clean

KATHMANDU: The government is preparing a policy to make every household based on both sides of the rivers in the Kathmandu Valley to construct septic tanks and to treat waste before discharging it into the sewerage system.

Even deities affected by water crisis in capital

KATHMANDU, May 17: Not only human beings but even deities have now begun reeling under acute water scarcity in the capital valley in the wake of dry season.

Garbage to gas

MAY 11 - The Kathmandu valley generates around 550 tonnes of solid waste each day and the majority of it is biodegradable. The organic fraction of the municipal solid waste can be converted into biogas in a closed loop-anaerobic digestion plant, also known as Waste-to-Biogas (WtB) system—with the recovery of biogas and nutrients. Biogas is an important energy carrier which can be used for electricity generation or as transport fuel and the nutrients as bio-fertilisers. An integrated WtB system can address the trilemma of energy security, energy equity (national debts on oil imports), and environmental sustainability in Kathmandu.
